Use & Care

Use

Use with straight-edged knives only; not for use with serrated blades.

Steel length should measure at least as long as the knife being honed.

To properly hone the knife, hold it at a 15-degree angle and draw the blade across the steel. Never stroke the same side of blade more than once in succession.

Depending on how often you use your knives, you may wish to hone once a week.

Care

Remove metal filings from the steel with a damp cloth.
